Good day, recent new owner of a UM2 and been having an excellent time learning the machine and printing things out. Have worked my way through my first roll of UM silver PLA. I had a few issues with underextrusion that I was able to remedy after playing with settings and produced some very nice prints.
This is where the issue arises. I am trying to use another filament from Gizmo Dorks and have been having grinding issues with the feeder. I have tried two different rolls of filament and have had the same problem.
I am able to get filament loaded and run a successful print but when I try to run a second print, it fails. I end up having to open the feeder, undo the bowden tube from the extruder, get the filament out, do a few atomic pulls, verify pathway is clear and then close it all up. I have had to do it 4 times this afternoon already.
Rolls of PLA are on a bearing spool located under the table from the printer to minimize stress at that entry. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I know I will be getting other filament to try. I would also love to know how to fine tune the feeder? I plan on printing out iroberts feeder when I am able.
Anyone care to shed some light on all things filament loading related, please feel free.
